Debris found in fuel tanks[^]
Imagining this debris coming into the fuel line, and causing obstruction to fuel-flow mid-air, gives a shudder.

nah, just flip the plane over and shake it about for a couple of miles.

So that's what Tex Johnston was doing with that Boeing Dash-80 (707 prototype) in 1955.

The article says: Business Insider first reported in September that the plane-maker was reaching out to retired technicians for help getting the planes ready for delivery quickly.
That's ridiculous! Who needs old fogies?[^]
... Or has someone finally got the message that experienced hands move faster and don't break things?

... and NO TRAINING required, so just like not breaking things it's money.
retired workers are an easy target
- many find it tough living on the reduced income,
- comfortable and bored (done a few things they dreamed about, too old or lost interest in others)
could you imagine people that retire at 50 - 55, and what's the average life span. even 10 more years with nothing much to do sounds appealing on Friday, even better on Monday but gets, ummm, "old" by April.

Insignificant when compared to the design issues of the 737 Max. The Max issue may very well kill the company.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So now I've got some tools to unleash some pretty advanced AI chatbots into some online forums which could make for an interesting social experiment, both in terms of the bot learning and evolving and in terms of people's reactions to it, and I was talking to my hubby all like "which group of unsuspecting plebes do I deploy one to first?" and then realized that there's no group of people that doesn't suck in some way such that it would poison the bot which led to the larger conclusion that people in general are kinda not so great.

My modest proposal is that you try it right here. After all, no one on CP sucks. 
Let's see how long your bot can avoid "This account has been closed". I'll consider running a betting pool on the date of its demise.

I was going to avoid running it here because I figure that's off limits and i don't want my real account to get the axe.

I'm sure a bot could create its own account.

So ask permission.

How do we know we're not interacting with that bot right now? I've always had my suspicions about you...

But only a bot would love nothing more than to talk about parsers to this extent.
